Ron Santo, Joe Pepitone and Paul Popovich each drove in two runs for the Cubs to support Bill Hands' pitching in a 6-3 victory over the Braves. Santo hit singles for his RBIs, Pepitone rapped a sacrifice fly and homer and Popovich hit for the circuit with a man on base. Hands handcuffed the Braves until the ninth inning when Hank Aaron homered, Earl Williams doubled and Hal King homered.
